Photo Tutorial- Linked DC and Linked TR in round with join

During the design phase of my Battle of the Stitches- Round 4 piece, I looked for a stitch that would provide a solid foundation for my purse. I didn’t want to line the purse with fabric. A friend of mine suggested using the linked stitches. I quickly did a search and found 2 blog posts that helped me greatly. A Crocheted Simplicity and Moogly. For the joining of the linked tr I turned to one of my testers, Nondas. She shared her technique with me. I created this post to go along with my Pattern for the Amelia Handbag. Feel free to use it for other purposes.
